Half Empty? NFL

They hit pretty hard without pads so he's used to the punishment. Don't think he's quite fast enough to play linebacker but definitely a lineman. How about a giant fullback? :)
another fridge?

I think he would be best as a defensive lineman but I think their plan was for him to be an offensive lineman.

It doesn't matter how big and strong you are. If you run straight upright and can't to get low to initiate contact, you're going to get seriously hurt. This was one of Jarryd's biggest problems, relearning how to run and initiate contact.

True, but he's a project. Has all the physical tools, needs to be taught technique. Most NFL players started young, have a huge head start. So remains to be seen. If he had grown up in U.S. Samoa instead of Australia he'd most likely be playing for a major college team now and maybe entering the draft early.
